It pains me to post this thread, but it has to be done.. After hitting a light pole on the front drivers side my baby is a write-off.

So now I'm selling off as much as I can. Before the crash the car was in great condition inside and out, and most parts still are.

I don't really know exactly what part is what, and theres too much for me to list and price everything.

Its a 1998 R33 Gtst 40th Anniverssary in Midnight Purple. Mostly stock condition, Trust 3" exhaust, GReddy Turbo timer, Pedders lowered springs.

So if you need anything let me know and there's a good chance it's there.

I'll try and get some pics up soon, let me know if you want to see something.

Bare in mind I am in Alice Springs so everything will need to be posted.

The car has 150k on it, but was in very good condition for that many k's.

The turbo is being sold with the engine provided buyer comes up with cash soon.

will post up if sale falls through.

Parts that are gone are:

Engine, turbo, Gearbox, seats, rims, dash plastics, stereo, front dump.

So don't ask for them, but anything else might still be there.

Rims survived but have been sold,

Headlights are damaged, drivers side only has a small crack right on the corner but the passengers side housing is cracked.

Exhaust is sold, pending payment

I have had an offer to take the whole car, just pending payment now. So any parts you want I will have to run by him first.

He will still be selling off the parts he doesn't need, so let me know what you want still.

RBPOWA- Yeah I'm in Alice, but have got someone who wants the whole brake set, will let you know if it doesn't happen.

HI2U- yeah drivers side control arm is bent.

I'm going on holidays for a week this weekend so replies in that time might be non existant. and no parts will move. sorry guys.

also, Front Bar, Reo, Radiator, all that stuff is gone. Rear window, wing, gone.

Sorry Richo car is being sold as is so no more parts are for sale. Pending payment of course,lol.

Threads pretty much closed now,

    • Put a fuel pressure gauge on it. Replace the turbos. Probably completely separate issues.
    • What copper washer do you guys use on the bleeder bolts? The existing one I have I had no idea where to find it in a local store, I did buy some online but that are only 1mm thick whereas my old one is 2mm+ thick and when I put the new washer out and squeeze the top radiator hose I can hear a bit of air but not with the old one. Does this matter? The new one doesn't leak, but the inner diameter is a bit loose whereas the old one threads on the bolt.
    • Howdy all, after being out a few weeks ago on a spirited drive in my GTR I have 2 issues that oddly have appeared at the same time. Whilst accelerating quickly through the gears all of a sudden i’ve lost power at the top of third gear (below redline around 6000rpm) for no obvious reason.    From that point onwards the car has been running rich on idle, won’t really rev under load without a ton of black smoke and the odd backfire, and dying as a pull up to a set of lights unless I keep the revs up around 1500rpm. In addition when shutting down the car that same night (I was 10 minutes from home) I noticed one of the turbos was significantly noisy on wind down when shutting off the engine. After letting the car cool down overnight it starts up fine, although once it gets to temp the revs start to creep up and down, the exhaust is darker than it should be and it also sounds like it’s running rich (fat note) I’ve put a new set of plugs in it - no change, the old plugs all seemed OK with two of them being somewhat richer/fueled up than the other 3 with 1 being borderline. I’ve smoked tested the intake system via the front of the Turbos, found a split vacuum hose going to the factory boost gauge sender, which I have since replaced.  Also found another leak on the gasket coming off the rear turbo outlet, have also replaced this. After fixing both of these leaks - still have the running rich issue. I’ve also tried another pair of AFM’s - no change here After pulling off the front turbo intake pipes, there is obvious shaft play in the front turbo, which now hisses loudly on light revvs although I can’t see why this would make the car run funny even under idle. I’m curious to know why it’s running rich before I potentially replace/rebuild turbos. The car is completely stock <50,000kms  other than an exhaust. Oil and coolant are all clear. I haven’t bothered with coil packs as it looks like they won’t be the issue due to condition of the plugs. Any help appreciated as I cry myself to sleep!
    • No probs at all. I used to love trying to dig up obscure info for those in need where possible going back 20+ years on SAU.  I did have another look and couldn't come up with any closer match. I'm leaning towards those skirts in your first pic are custom fitments, cut down/extended or from another car entirely and modded to fit an R34 sedan. I would've thought someone in Japan had them and taken a photo at some stage over the last 2 decades but there's nothing. Someone out there must know surely.
